Oh dear heavens. It is way too early and I'm watching CNN and Brianna.

Brianna was interviewing a SandyHook mom about this week's most horrific event and she started crying.
Brianna went on after interview was over and continued to cry more. 1st story she ever covered was Virginia Tech and she is done with it.
Her raw emotion has taken me out.
I hope everyone here at DU finds it.
You will be moved.
That is all.

I really like Brianna. Sooooo much better than Stephanie Ruhl's phony crying yesterday over the four high school kids that were killed. As hard as she tried she couldn't squeeze out a tear. A repeat of what she was doing with the babies in cages at the border. Give it up Stephanie. Just give us the news but for God's sake keep it real.

I love her. She is not afraid to just be herself. She always shows how much empathy she has for others.

Give her Cuomo’s slot at 9:00 PM. Honest, has a heart and soul, and takes no BS from liars. Never afraid to follow up and call out.

She has young kids and a late night show would I think be difficult. I wish they had never moved her from the midday show. She is just terrific in so many ways.

I really like her and I think she and John Berman do well together. I like it much better than when Alison was on. I usually only watch that early show, and not for very long, as I am getting ready for the day. Other than that show, I catch Anderson Cooper or Don Lemon now and again. I would like Brianna anywhere. She really takes no crap and hits back. The challenge brings more truth that passive nodding.

what a compelling, riveting segment. During the segment Senator Chris Murphy Tweeted Chris that he was going to introduce his background check bill once again on the floor of the Senate, he Tweeted "wish me luck."

Countless years of “thoughts and prayers” lip service by the “sanctity of life party” while taking the money of the NRA and 2nd Amendment zealots. Let us not forget the role the Supreme Court has had in expanding the proliferation of guns.

My job was about a mile away and most of the employees were VTI grads. My lead engineer had taught in one of the classrooms that had been shot up only the year before. They knew many of the victims. I fully get the feeling, but can't watch those shows. Too overwhelming. I hope no one else ever has to experience that, but ...
